Well, they are car camping sites; a little cover from the site next to you, bathroom facilities and such, water pumps, picnic tables and fire rings, freddie patrols throughout the nights. Under cared for really, a little more seclusion would go a long way. No states really follow that line of...

I work as a conservation ranger with the National Park Service, not state forestry, but some similarites do exist. One being that they both require a B.A. in wildlife management, ecology, or something in between. This differs depending on which exact field you work in, and a "foot in the door"...

Because of work related travel and the holidays I've been just about everywhere but South Jersey since November. This past Saturday was my first weekend out and about in the Pines in quite a while. Spent about 6 hours wandering the Pygmy Pines out of Coyle Field. It was biting cold, but with...

welcome, and thanks for sharing.

You have inspired me to get back out to the plains....soon

If you know where Bodine Field is your mighty close.

Guess you got to see it opened up huh? Being the time of year it is we had to use a little imagination.

Thanks Guy

Not Quite The Pines But.... Two weeks ago while finishing up a slow moving afternoon I got a phone call from my regional service center asking if I’d be interested in some collections care work at the Zane Grey Museum in the Upper Delaware Scenic Area. Not being one to turn down a change of...

All, I can't say what a pleasure its been reading everyone's bits and pieces on this and related topics. It warms my heart to see so much love of SJ and its Rev qar history. While it has been understated at both the state and national levels a wealth of Rev. War personas and sites does exist...

Thats a nice rendering of the battle of Gloucester. Guess you been to the G.C.H.C.? They have Washington's commendation later to LaFayette for a job well done. And to think that battle goes pretty much unnoticed in Rev. War history.

Wow my friend, that list of names you through out has me smiling from ear to ear. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been in some little historical library reading "lectures" on record from men like Sickler and Ewan. And yes, we do have the advantage of hindsight and better training. We...

Oh no, no, no, no. Its our job to try and find the most credible and honest representation of subject matters at all times, especially when referring the curious to certain topics. My attempt was to use some "softer" material, if you will, combined with harder works, like that of Martin...

Oh I was just trying to mix up the topic matter some. Methinks your not a fan of Mr. Stewart. As we've talked, I understand you reasoning, but aside the one area we discussed I think his knowledge on SoJo material is sound. While its obvious the NJ War guide isn't an historical attempt it is...

You are indeed right LARGO, Jerseyman is indeed a scholar and gentlemen. Thus far my strong points have been in document research of the folks involved lives and goals, but Jerseyman's knowledge on landscape has already proved useful for me. As far as books and maps go on the subject there...

Very interesting Furball. The path you mention was in all probabilties the Hessian retreat, I'd love to find out more about the hanger (sword) you mentioned. Are the cannonballs hollowed or are they still filled? No biggy eithier way, just curious. Some would say that the field piece story is...

I'd guess the same Stu, and if you don't contribute you shouldn't be pimpin' anything.

Perhaps your partly right Ben, although I really believe some sites have directly suffered because of exposure in WNJ. I think its safe to say that many of us here have varied interest in the Pines, thats what I find appealing about this site. One of the problems about the issue at hand is...

I have to agree whole heartedly with Badfish on this. If you want to enjoy the Pines start with giving our wilderness the proper respect it deserves. The Pine Lands are a place of solitude and beauty, and while the J. Devil is indeed a fine mythology it is a wrong motivator to get in people...

Probably wouldn't have checked, but after reading that you found the 1700's called the Dark Ages I had to see for myself. That is LMAO to the tenth power.
